I'd have to double check, but her ancestry is non-Jewish and from that region.
Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Yeah, I've been really surprised it's not being reported at all in the coverage, and it's an important detail.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Yeah, I was raised in a world where elderly people get a little slack for bigoted or sexist remarks.
Doesn't mean its alright. Doesn't mean she should have kept her job. But maybe America's collective Mom could sit us down and say, "Sometimes older people have had terrible personal experiences or were raised a certain way and have prejudices they've had for a really long time and its hard for them to change. That doesn't mean that ______ is an evil person and doesn't do lots of nice things like ______. I know its hard, but sometimes that's the way it is."

(And if America's Mom were MY mom she'd then say its alright to argue statements like that as long as you did so respectfully. "I don't like that you said that. I don't think that's fair. I know lots of nice _____ people and it makes me sad that you would dislike them without even meeting them.")
It breaks my heart, frankly, to see Helen Thomas acting like some dottering old woman who needs kid gloves. May we all be blessed with as much life and a bit more sense.

Just so people know, I thought it might be a good idea to take my facebook posts from today down, rather than leave them flapping in the wind. I'm still here. I'm still feeling better. I just didn't want to leave them up.
